SUNSCREENS: Physical & Chemical 🌞☀️
🌞Physical Sunscreens🌞
Physical sunscreens contain active mineral ingredients, such as titanium dioxide or zinc oxide, which work by sitting on top of the skin to deflect and scatter damaging UV rays away from the skin. They offer protection against both UVA and UVB rays and protect from the sun as soon as they are applied.
❤️ They are less likely to clog pores.
💔 They can feel heavy, leave a film on the skin, and can rub or sweat off easily (which means you'll need to reapply more often).
🌞Chemical Sunscreens🌞
Chemical sunscreens contain organic (carbon-based) compounds that create a chemical reaction and work by changing UV rays into heat, then releasing that heat from the skin.
❤️ Chemical sunscreens tend to be thinner and, therefore, spread more easily on the skin, making them more wearable for daily use.
💔 have a bad rap for containing oxybenzone, which has been linked to allergies, hormone disruption, and cell damage.
